I visited Sea Life in Blackpool for the first time.

Transcript

00:00Hello, my name is Luke Patrick. I'm a reporter for the Blackpool Gazette. I've just got back

00:28from my first visits in the Sea Life Centre here in Blackpool and it was an incredible

00:32experience. Seeing that much wildlife right up close was amazing and my favourite part

00:37was the underwater tunnel that you can walk through. It was a bit nerve-wracking because

00:41it's the closest I've ever been to a shark because they were swimming right above my

00:45head. It was a bit of a surreal experience but I was so excited to go and I wasn't disappointed

00:50and I absolutely loved it.

01:20Now lastly, what this means for them is actually that it gives them their colour. That love

01:31for green is why they are a green sea turtle. If you were to look at them as a baby, they're

01:35a soft brown. That green doesn't come from their body, it comes from their diet. Dyeing

01:40their fat green underneath their skin. That's like if we ate so many carrots, we were orange.

01:47Imagine how much we have to feed them every single day, not only for them to be as big

01:51as they are, but for them to be green as well. So finally, as we slowly come to the end,

01:57there's most of our sharks have taken all of their fish and of course they're not going

02:00anywhere. There's lots of things that I haven't been able to talk about, mostly these animals

02:04in detail, so of course if you want to know anything before leaving, please do let me

02:08know. They're lapsing and lapsing.
